In the footage, the on-board cameras and computer detect a white Ford Fiesta allegedly being driven under false registration plates. Unknown to the two men in the car, the unmarked police cars begin to trail them, awaiting a safe moment to box their vehicle in.

The footage was obtained by our colleagues at Grimsby Live, who were given exclusive access to the traffic unit at Humberside Police, taking them through the roads of North East Lincolnshire.

However, as the team of reporters and police officers were making their way through to Barton, alerts were received about a stolen car travelling through Hull. This gave officers the perfect chance to show off their expertise in boxing in a fleeing motorist in a Tactical Pursuit and Containment operation (TPAC), as well as utilising on board computers, police radio and information from Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras.

Once the vehicle had been stopped in Goddard Avenue in west Hull, both men can be seen immediately putting their hands up, where they were then detained and searched, while police uncovered suspicious substances which were seized for analysis.

The vehicle was linked to crime and the driver was found to be a disqualified driver and had been banned for three years previously. The arrest also resulted in a positive reading for drug driving and the vehicle was in a dangerous condition and uninsured.

This wasn’t the only chase the police gave throughout the evening, with two unmarked police cars and two marked cars seen tactically boxing in a Ford C-Max in Scunthorpe.

The driver was arrested on suspicion of driving off without paying for fuel at a petrol station in several incidents, with the arrest also resulting in a positive reading for drug driving and the vehicle being in a dangerous condition and uninsured.

The alert to follow the Ford C-Max driver came just minutes after a Renault Clio was seized and towed away because a Romanian driver did not have insurance.

Finally, on their way back to Grimsby on the A180, the team were overtaken by a blue Honda Jazz travelling at 104mph. The Honda driver was pulled over and questioned in a nearby layby, where he told officers he had been rushing home after a visit to see his poorly father.
